During the day, another SFF machine was delivered - a Dell GX 60. Sporting a Celeron 2.4Ghz CPU, 256Mb RAM and a 20Gb hard disk this is ideal for a budget HTPC and will be replacing the SX260 currently in the lounge (connected to my 37" Hanspree). The SX260 will be going to the bedroom (connected to the 32" Hanspree).
All I need then is to get into the attic, drill some holes and run some cables - ethernet, coax (for an aerial) and power. Sorted!
In other news, my PSU tester widget arrived and I finally got round to testing one of my servers that had died - and it was the PSU that was dead. Fortunately, I had another 1U PSU that I had never used (from another forgotten project) and that worked like a charm. That means I now have 2 identical workhorse PCs for the studio (1U short depth boxes). All I need now is 2 more soundcards and a handful of silent 40mm fans...
